"In Ma mere, he is among the master magicians: subtleties of nuance and timing now abound; here is playing of a wholly different order of grace and beauty, not the kind that lingers in passages in danger of becoming too exquisite to bear, nor the kind that parades the score's exoticism. In the Spanish items, some may find the Berlin woodwinds too cultured in tone and artful in phrasing for their various improvisatory solos: it is rare to hear the first few minutes' solos in Bolero quite as strongly contoured as this. I found myself craving a hint of abandon from the brass, particularly in the le plus possible in the Feria from the Rapsodie; and here and in the Alborada, as before, tempos remain slower than average, strikingly so in the Feria which now, quite aptly, sounds as much like Chabrier as Ravel: festive as opposed to driven and explosive." -Gramophone

"Wonderfully atmospheric, indeed magical, and in the concertos, the delicacy and finesse of Krystian Zimerman's pianism is dazzling, his refinement of nuance and clarity of articulation a source of wonder" -The Penguin Guide (On Valses Sentimentales)
